Aloha Susane....

I guess I am still a little miffed that my last topic got locked out!

As I recall, a lot of you did not want me to discuss Tiki Fonts anymore..

So, I got a little jealous when I see a post for "the ideal mai-tai" and 65 people are allowed to respond..

I know it's been 2 weeks or so, and maybe I am being a big baby....

But I like this website, and get a lot of good ideas from it, (even good ideas for better Mai-Tais)..

but I don't want to start thinking that this is some private club, where some people can post redundant topics, (and everyone including Basement Kahuna responds with much enthusiasm), while others are locked out by people who decide after 12 replies that "it's been talked about" and that's that!

I guess my question is about the fairness of it...look, I was strongly lectured that I should have searched first before asking my non-political, non-offensive, innocent, and apparantly redundent question about the exciting and beautiful Tiki calligraphy from the golden age......

It still seems to me that BK just decided to teach a newbie a lesson....
But thid makes me think about Dog-town and Z-boys...

If you have seen the movie, you know that these kids were great surfers, skaters, but very territorial...it did not matter if you knew as much about surfing as they did, or if you were a kind and decent person, or a great surfer..right or wrong, if you were not "in" with their group, you were not aloud to surf their beach! In fact, concrete blocks were dropped on their heads by the locals, to strongly dissuade them from ever showing up again!!

No concrete blocks here, but locking my topic feels the same to me!
